Lyrics

Intro: Haunting shakuhachi flute melody, slow, deliberate taiko drum pulse, atmospheric shamisen plucks

Verse 1: Melody enters, carried by acoustic guitar and shamisen, vocals are intimate and narrative

Нет, царевич, я не та,

Кем меня ты видеть хочешь,

И давно мои уста

Не целуют, а пророчат.

Verse 2: Drums (bass and snare) enter subtly, building tension, vocals become more intense

Не подумай, что в бреду

И замучена тоскою

Громко кличу я беду:

Ремесло мое такое.

Solo: Expressive, melodic shamisen solo, supported by full band but restrained, emotional peak

Chorus: Full band comes in with energy, driving rhythm, electric guitars, powerful and dramatic vocals

А умею научить,

Чтоб нежданное случилось,

Как навеки приручить

Ту, что мельком полюбилась.

Bridge: Music becomes tense, dynamics drop, vocals are warning and filled with despair

Славы хочешь? — у меня

Попроси тогда совета,

Только это — западня,

Где ни радости, ни света.

...ни радости, ни света... [vocals filled with sorrow and hopelessness]

...ни радости... ни света... [vocals fade, almost a broken whisper]

Break: Full stop. 2 seconds of complete silence.

Outro: Music calms down to sparse shamisen and shakuhachi, vocals are tired and resigned

Ну, теперь иди домой... [calm, tired vocals, releasing him]

Да забудь про нашу встречу... [spoken softly, as an afterthought]

А за грех твой, милый мой, [voice becomes internal, weary]

Я пред Господом отвечу… [voice filled with pain and acceptance]

Я отвечу… [a pained, almost inaudible whisper]

Song fades out with a final, soft shakuhachi note
